The final cover for Issue 5. The logo I just threw on there for amusement's sake. The final prep of cover at the printing level is Greg's deal. So the ish may look a tad different once it hits stands. Enjoy!

Atomic Chimp Issue 5 cover is just one, but a fine example of a wide range of emotion, perspective and composition that can be found by rooting around in *AmericanNinjaX's fabulous gallery! Lovely ladies, beefy fellows and the occasional primate; this talented deviant has got plenty of character to suit anyone's needs. Don't miss out! (

That I am. Kelsey Shannon and I are trading off story arcs. I lead off with the character designs. Then he's doing the first five issues. I'm on the second five and so on like that. And now we're sharing design duties.

Ok, you know I never do crits, and I love your stuff to pieces.. and I think these are great.. but the bgs just don't look right to me. I know they're supposed to be all color-schemed and such, but maybe you can lighten/darken them? Like make the red into light light pink, or switch it to green? I dunno, it just looks like it's blending into itself ;; I don't mean to be all RAHR ITS WRONG XD I really love the dynamic poses.. and random claws etc

I'm glad you did a crit. This was a huge issue for me last night and I did try that. Unfortunately with the characters being the main focus as a selling point for this cover, complicating the backgrounds really made the characters less important to the eye. All I could figure out in the end was to darken the backgrounds to stick the characters forward more.
